Hi folks, This is the first real release of this development series and it's got A LOT of changes in it. The biggest change I think is the addition of Tambet Ingo's python module to parse the xml metadata. It does a conversion from the xml directly into the sqlite databases and it represents a pretty massive speed up from the parsing we've been doing thus far. We've also changed a lot of of the yum module api on the way to something better. We're not done, yet, but this is where we've started. Also for the next few months I'd like to do something new for the development releases. For every week I'd like to release a new point release. So at the end of this week, if we've checked in any changes, we'll release 2.9.1, then 2.9.2, etc, etc. I hope this will help get changes landed and tested sooner. First the warnings: This is a development series it is not meant for production use nor should it be considered stable or reliable AT ALL.
